Through the years I've had many friends that I've never seen and several
that I had no idea as to their gender. Isn't e-mail great. No
preconceived ideas when we start communicating. (Heck I get to be called
a @#$%^& based on merit. :-) There has been a Jan, Lynn, Sandy and a
couple others I can't remember but the biggest shock was the phone call I
got from some one I'd been communicating with for several years and she
said "Hi Rod, this is Charlie". I hadn't had a clue Charlie was a woman.

As the cartoon says "On the internet no one knows you're a dog."
